You GUYS should tryout! It’s for a good cause and it’s a way to showcase your talent! The Good Knight Auditions page will be posted on our Facebook page for those of you who want to tryout!!

Good Knight Rape Awareness

The men that compete to be crowned the Good Knight are great examples of the men that people should surround themselves with to lead safer lifestyles.

We also include talent such as singers, dancers, poets, and more to show that the community around us supports these victims.

So if you or anyone you know would be a great candidate or act in the show, let them know about auditions this week! It's an amazing cause to support and we hope that you'll take part this year!
